So I lost a tip - ggrrrrrr. To get a set of large round replacement tips here in Australia will set me back $58.

I absolutely love these phones and to me the tips are the comfiest I've ever tried and fit perfectly getting a great seal immediately 100% of the time - however $58 for one set of tips is straight up robbery!!!!

So - does anyone out there want to trade me a pair of large rounds for any of the other sizes (which I don't use) - small / small oval / medium / large oval?

Thanks. That would be awesome if there was a decent price differential - if you could check it out that would be great. I fear though that Sennheiser will have a horrid price set for these tips set globally.

To me such a steep price for replacement tips (that actually come off fairly easily) is a bit of an insult. I guess they must think that if you can afford the ie800's then fifty bucks here and there ain't no thing.

I've had my stock tips come off on several occasions, but not any more after I performed this mod:

Now I'm using small pieces cut from alcohol swabs, about 8 by 8 millimeters. Let the alcohol evaporate until they're dry, put a piece on top of the nozzle and secure it with the tip. Not only does the fabric attenuate and smooth out the highs a bit, but it also makes the tips stay more securely attached to the nozzle.

if you guys can try to find the filters that come with cardas IEM they fit the IE800 great , the bass and mids do not change but treble becomes a lot less brighter. Sound becomes what we can consider warm and analog type compared to the U shape they had before the mod.
